Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. The npm postinstall automatically installs this package's Teams skill into installed Claude and Codex harness skill directories. This is a guarded, first-party agent extension setup; no concrete attack beyond that lifecycle integration was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T22:19:21.261Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T22:19:49.105Z - **Download time:** 773 ms - **Static scan time:** 145 ms - **AI review time:** 26925 ms - **Total time:** 27844 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

This is a guarded, first-party agent extension setup; no concrete attack beyond that lifecycle integration was established. - **Trigger:** Installing or upgrading the package through npm when the process is the machine's own Supercode installation. - **Impact:** Agent harnesses receive Supercode Teams instructions without a separate install command; the observed behavior is an agent extension lifecycle risk. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/release.mjs, lib/skills.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T22:19:49.105Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall imports the skill installer, which copies the shipped skill into the Claude and Codex homes and can replace an unedited skill previously marked as package-written. - **Rationale:** The postinstall automatically installs a first-party skill into Claude and Codex harness configuration, creating an agent extension lifecycle risk under the stated policy. Its guarded replacement logic and the inspected skill content do not establish a concrete attack, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** lib/release.mjs, lib/skills.mjs, skills/supercode-teams/SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs lib/release.mjs automatically during npm postinstall., The postinstall path calls installSkills to copy the release's skill into installed Claude and Codex harness homes without a separate command., The installer writes under each harness's skills folder and replaces prior package-marked skills when they differ., The installed skill is package-owned and concerns Supercode Teams; no malicious payload or unrelated recipient was identified in the inspected source. - **Evidence against:** The skill installer preserves symlinks, folders it did not create, and marked skills that were edited; it limits writes to the current OS user's home., No concrete credential theft, destructive action, or remote payload execution was established from the inspected source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @volter/supercode@0.5.262. - Review the evidence and your use of @volter/supercode@0.5.262 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
